The rain came & boy did it hurt the prancing horses. It took out Vettel, Raikkonen & Verstappen in the start of the race, also took out Alonso & most of the race would be under the safety car, 3 times to be exact. Well, Lewis needed a miracle in Singapore, he got it. He now leads with 28 points.
Next up, the final Malaysian grand prix

We have a new champion! Josef Newgarden has gone on to win the IndyCar championship, first American in 5 years to win it. Plus its not only his first championship, its also with his first season driving for Team Penske. There was a crazy start that took out Rossi & Hinchcliffe. However, there was good racing all around. Congratulations to Josef Newgarden! It was a great season all around & I can't wait to see next season with the new cars!

Tis a sad day in the wrestling world.... Bobby Heenan was one of my favorite all time managers & possibly one of the best commentators in wrestling as well.
R.I.P. Brain, I hope you & Gorilla Monsoon are calling matches up in the big squared circle in the sky.

Results from Chicago:
1. Truex Jr.
2. Elliott
3. Harvick
4. Hamlin
5. Larson
6. Keselowski
7. Logano
8. Johnson
9. Kenseth
10. McMurray
Stage 1 winner: Kyle Busch
Stage 2 winner: Elliott
Despite an early penalty, Truex has continued to show how dominant he has been all season & just basically just conquered the 3rd stage. I still think he will be the car to beat, he's just that good right now. Penalties effected Stenhouse Jr. & Kyle Busch & Chase Elliott won stage 2 & held on to 2nd. I still think it's going to be difficult to catch Truex Jr. though.
Next up New Hampshire

Results from Richmond:
1.Larson
2. Logano
3. Newman
4. Kurt Busch
5. Hamlin
6. Jones
7. Suarez
8. Johnson
9. Kyle Busch
10. Elliott
Stage 1 winner: Kyle Busch
Stage 2 winner: Truex Jr.
It may have not been the craziest race but it was a very intense race regardless. It was good racing altogether. Truex Jr. almost had the race but Larson had a really good car that night & the unfortunate bump with Hamlin. Kenseth, McMurray & Elliott make the playoffs, we officially have our 16, plus a side note, look how gigantic the trophy looks!
meanwhile, Martin Truex Jr. receives his regular season trophy...
I still say either Truex Jr., or Larson is my pick to win the playoffs.
Next up, round 1 begins, in Chicago

Say hello to the Central Illinois Flying Aces.
http://www.ushl.com/news_article/show/829901?referrer_id=2650688 As revealed at the parade, the Flying Aces’ new visual identity will incorporate some of the Thunder’s image but opts for more of a traditional, vintage look for both the logo and uniforms. Although the Aces will still use navy blue, they will now have a red jersey in place of the navy jersey that has been worn during the past three seasons. Both the red and white jerseys have the same red, white, navy, and light blue piping on the sleeves, while the white jerseys, which will be worn at home for the first half of the season, have red trim on the shoulders.

Bumping for the Italian Grand Prix:
1. Hamilton
2. Bottas
3. Vettel
4. Ricciardo
5. Räikkönen
6. Ocon
7. Stroll
8. Massa
9. Perez
10. Verstappen
A brilliant performance form the Silver Arrows to a rather cold race for the Prancing Horse. Hamilton just couldn't be caught & I thought Verstappen was doomed again but he came back after the contact from Massa. Hamilton is now the points leader as F1 is done with Europe.
Next up, Singapore
Results from Watkins Glen:
1. Rossi
2. Dixon

How does a driver celebrate signing a contract extension with his current team? Get the pole & win at Watkins Glen! Great driving by Rossi & I'm glad to see Andretti resigning him to a contract extension. Kid has a bright future. Newgarden had a rough day after hitting the exit leaving the pit. He only has a 3 point lead now with Dixon right behind him.
Next up, the season finale at Sonoma.
News & Notes:
- As mentioned, Alexander Rossi is staying with Andretti as they are also staying with Honda
- The WEC schedule is going be a bit different, it's going to a winter series & less races, gone are Silverstone, Mexico & COTA, however, they will return to Sebring & race right after IMSA's 12 hours of Sebring (12 A.M.-12 P.M.) although they hope to be back at Silverstone
- Changes have been made to LMP1 after the announcement at LeMans weren't well received.
- Alonso has interests in 2 IndyCar teams
- McLaren may run with Renault engines
- Sauber could be rebranded as Alfa Romeo Sauber

I like it, Chase has driven the 9 for a while in ARCA & Xfinity & it was his dad's number so there's always that connection. Truth be told, I thought the 88 would've been gone.
Well, I think with this news, it's only a matter of time before we knew this could/would happen... https://www.motorsport.com/nascar-cup/news/nascar-cup-ford-mustang-946786/
Coming on the heels of Chevrolet announcing it will field its Camaro brand in NASCAR’s top tour, race fans have been vocal about Ford’s muscle car joining the ranks as well.
The great-grandson of Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford said that, while he’s not the decision maker for the racing arm of the manufacturer, personally he feels that having a Mustang race alongside the Camaro “would be wonderful.”
“I don’t know what we’re going to do yet, but I think it’s the right play,” Ford told motorsport.com at the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Tuesday. “I think Mustang ought to be our race car — much like Camaro is General Motors race car. So, it seems to me that would be appropriate.”

Bumping for F1's return from summer break & IndyCar at Gateway....
Results from the Belgian Grand Prix:

6. Hulkenberg
7. Grosjean
8. Massa
9. Ocon
10. Sainz Jr.
Hamilton ties the pole record with Schmuacher & on his 200th start, managed to hold a very quick Sebastian Vettel. This is a very tight race for the championship & it will be far from a runaway. Turmoil with Force India as Ocon & Perez were at each other at the start & once again, Verstappen has issues with his car causing his 6th DNF. Not a way he would like to remember SPA especially the see of orange that was there (just don't tell Alonso, he thought it was the McLaren fan club).
Next up, Italy
Results from Gateway:
1. Newgarden
2. Dixon
3. Pagenaud
4. Castroneves
5. Daly
6. Rossi
7. Kimball
8. Hinchcliffe
9. Munoz
10. Bourdais
What a race, glad to see IndyCar back at gateway, Newgarden got the win with a very bold move against his teammate Simon Pagenaud. Making sure that he continues with his point lead & also his 4th win this season. Really ugly crash between Will Power,Ed Carpenter & Takuma Sato. Plus Bourdais came back after his scary injury at Indy, it was great to see him in the top 10.
Next up, Watkins Glen
News & Notes:
- Vettel resigned with Ferrari for 3 years, Raikkonen for 1.
- Alonso has been linked to Williams
- Sato is joining Rahal-Letterman racing givng them a 2nd car (possibly starting up the Andertti to Chevy engines & Rossi going elsewhere rumors again) Although that can also be very unlikely.
- Verstappen isn't too fond of his engine failures, may look for an escape... To where? Who knows?

Bumping for Pocono:
1. Power
2. Newgarden
3. Rossi
4. Pagenaud
5. Kanaan
6. Dixon
7. Castroneves
8. Hunter-Reay
9. Rahal
10. Munoz
First it was the battle between Rahal & Kanaan & then it was the final lap battle between Power, Newgarden & Rossi. What a finish! The race for the championship is truly heating up. Great racing all around & RHR racing hard after that wreck yesterday!
Next up, IndyCar returns to Gateway!

Stage 1 winner: Kyle Busch
Stage 2 winner: Kenseth
Rowdy gets the sweep & I tell you, Erik Jones is going to be a name that we will be hearing for a long time. He almost had him until the last couple of laps, then road traffic & Kyle having a faster car, just couldn't catch him.
Next up, a week off then, Darlington.

The Avalanche will announce an upgraded minor-league partnership with the Loveland-based Colorado Eagles next month, with the current ECHL team becoming the 31st American Hockey League franchise, according to two sources close to the situation.
Beginning with the 2018-19 season, the Avs’ top prospects and veterans on assignments will play for the Colorado Eagles out of the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland. The Budweiser Events Center seats 5,289 for hockey but likely will be renovated to accommodate larger crowds.
